  Totally agreed. Branching is good for man pages, but for articles/books it
looks strange (better to use paragraphs about different OS versions).
  And what to do with man pages?
  What about:
  1) Create subtree exclusively for man pages (partially already
     there - share/man), a-la doc/ tree (i.e. with different languages in mind).
  2) Move all man pages from utilities sources to this directory and track them
     here.

  I think it can help to simplify tracking man pages for translation teams.


Sincerely yours, Andy.
